How Quantum is Life?

Abstract

Quantum mechanics gives many simultaneously existing versions of reality, but we are aware of only a single, particular one. Quantum mechanics does not specify which one we are aware of, so interpretations of the mathematics have arisen, hoping to explain how the particular version is chosen. It is argued that there is little reason to be optimistic that any of the three primary interpretations, particles, collapse, or many-worlds, is correct. In the current state of physics, the most reasonable interpretation, the only one that requires no changes or amendments to the highly successful mathematics, is that we each harbor a non-physical Mind, outside the laws of physics, which is the source of our awareness. This Mind only perceives; it does not alter the wave function in any way. An experimental test of the Mind interpretation is proposed.
